Watching shadows cross the silver screen
Lives as still as they’ve always been
The curtain is drawn, shapes revealed
They dance through the night from reel to reel
Somehow lost within it all
Silent lives playing on the wall
Down the lens side by side
Daylight flickers in black and white
To our city I will take you down
There are winding roads all through this town
Life beats strong in every way
It’s us and them and the golden days
Moving slowly through changing times
The backdrop of life, our storyline
After the secrets, before the lies
When silent life held our truth inside
To our city I will take you down
There are winding roads all through this town
Life beats strong within us girl
It’s us and them and that other world
